Here come your French news headlines. Of course the obvious big news is the conclusion of the Tour de France with the second five-time winner in its history. That winner, of course, is Texan Lance Armstrong.Now, to the papers:
Le Monde: The American Noose Seems To Be Again Tightening For Saddam Hussein.
Libé: Americans No Longer Traveling to France. From the tone of the thing, some feelings are hurt. And wallets.
Ouest-France: The Operation That Should Have Brought Back Ingrid. That's Ingrid Betancourt, a politician with Columbian-French dual citizenship who's being held by FARC, the rebel guerillas in Columbia. Brazil is ticked that a military plane showed up at one of its airports and the operation seems to have been scrapped since there's now badwill on all sides towards a French government that with the best of intentions acted unilaterally and left potential allies shut out. Hmmm.
